Third (and likely last) iteration on the "galaxy collision toy model". I randomized a bit the initial conditions and increased the number of test masses to avoid visual artefacts.
If one day I decide to learn how to implement an octree I might come back to this

Did you set the initial conditions of stable orbits of the small masses around the galactic center in by hand ?

Circular orbit + small perturbation as initial conditions for the test masses. Looked like the easiest approach.

thanks! thinking about doing it in blender

Maybe try using this...May be way off track.. 2 sets with radial velocity difference of 9 will take you to the centre. perpetual difference if set correctly results in a centrepoint you just cannot ignore. This is using existing toroid dimension. Example of cooperatives. ab=c=bapic.twitter.com/5WLIOlV6Fx
